Von dunklem Schleier umsponnen See original
Language: German (Deutsch)
Von dunklem Schleier umsponnen Ist mir das Tageslicht; Wohl steigen neue Sonnen, -- Ich seh' sie nicht. Mir schweift der Blick hinüber In Weiten, dämmerfern; Am Himmel blinkt ein trüber, Einsamer Stern. Ein Mädchen, bleich von Wangen, Winkt mir von drüben zu: "Ich bin vorangegangen, Was zögerst du?"
